  1. LOL, crazy indeed but trust me, you try to pull that same stuff in a crit in the US and you'd be out of the race in a heartbeat. Even French amateur racing isn't that agressive. There's a reason they're pros.
  2. Most places will try to be as discreet as possible and will try to match the weave. The Trek was painted white and was returned to me painted perfectly. I've seen a lot of race bikes with patches on them. It's just a scar, most people don't care.
  3. Yes, still kicking as an in-town beater. Yes, no experience with them but there are some good options out there.
  4. Not true anymore. There's anything from the DIY kit with Youtube instructions to the full manufacturer service at a high premium. Personally: 2 visits to Calfee Designs in CA, I would trust them with any repair needed on my carbon frame. Remember the aluminum frames that would get junked after getting a bad ding on the top tube ? Short of buying Ti, most metals have the same risks as carbon when it comes to damage and the effects on resale value, etc...
  5. Another hippie concert ? Graydon linked the article on FB, it was funny stuff.
  6. No, very much mine. It will most likely end up in France, I've mentioned it to the owner's club and I'm already getting hounded about selling it.
  7. It speaks volume about his attention to details. He'll cost me more than local talent but ultimately, I'll feel comfortable flogging that car around corners knowing that he had it for a month and looked at everything.
  8. I got laid into by Yves for not tightening two transmission bolts. He's adjusted the valves (main reason it ran like ass) and is now tuning the K-jet beast.
  9. Recent pro race in Canada. Yes, he's strong!
  10. Travis is taking the whole sun protection thing a little too far....
  11. You don't need that soft a tire to just ride on. Switch to a conti GP4000 or something similar, you're running a race tire on NE roads. It's not going to work out for you.
  12. Please paint your door step, it takes away from the rest of the house. Great weather to be riding. And belated happy birthday dude!
  13. KW's. No comparison, I had D2 and they're entry level coilovers.
  14. Wow.... And I understand that he's innocent until proven guilty but his behavior does nothing to indicate he might be innocent.
  15. Cyclist is one of the few sports left where fan interaction is not too restricted. I hope bung holes like that guy don't change that. Remember Contador ?
  16. My reaction too. Great move on his part, especially given the driver's obvious lack of safety for others but I wouldn't be surprised if he got stuck with a hefty insurance bill for both his truck and the stolen car he just damaged.
